Chapter 122 Liu Yan is happy and Liu Yan is regretful
Before the filming of "Space Traveler" started, a reading meeting was held. This is a necessary process for the crew of every film before the official start of production.
During the reading session, the actors will play against each other so that they can get into the mood faster after the film is started.
Before that, they will also get the script in advance.
The older generation of actors are more particular. After receiving the script, they usually study it carefully so that they can better interpret the role.
The new generation of actors are even less particular about this aspect.
From the post-80s to the post-90s to the post-00s actors, except for a few actors, each generation is really inferior to the last in this regard.
For example, Peng Yuchang, an actor born in the 1990s, after starting up the film and joining the group, he was studying the script while other actors of the same age group were playing.
The effect is that his performance is better than that of actors of the same age group in the same crew.
So much so that he was ridiculed as the "King of Rolls" by the young actors in the same crew.
Not to mention other aspects, just talking about the atmosphere is already very different from before.
It is now 2006, and this trend has already begun.
After 2008, the trend became more and more obvious.
And this is one of the reasons why in 2023, the only actors who can compete in the entertainment industry are those born in 1975 to those born in 1985.
Except for a few actors from the post-90s to post-00s generation, the performances of others are really not good.
The performance is blunt and lacks spirituality.
……
Wang Shu and Wei Zongwan chatted for a while and then started the rest of the shooting.
At this time.
Liu Yan walked up to him with a small fan, looked at him eagerly with a pair of beady eyes, and said softly: "Director Wang, are you hot? I'll fan you. .”
Wang Shu glanced sideways at Liu Yan and chuckled: "It's not hot, just fan yourself."
Liu Yan felt Wang Shu's tenderness, and his mood suddenly became quite agitated, and then he seemed to feel Seeing the strange looks around him, his face turned red with embarrassment.
However, she did not back down, but pretended to be calm and smiled and said: "Should I give you a fan? Anyway, I have nothing to do. Maybe I can learn something by staying with you. , I will be able to perform better when I start filming my scenes."
Wang Shu felt that it made sense, and then said: "Then just watch here, no need. "Fan, I'm so tired."
"I'm not tired," Liu Yan said quickly. After finishing speaking, he felt a little too angry and said again with a red face, "I'm not tired, Director Wang, I'll give you a fan." Fan, I’m not tired.”
Wang Shu turned his head and looked at Liu Yan's nervous look, and said softly: "Even if you are not tired, you can't come here and fan me."
Under Liu Yan's aggrieved and puzzled gaze, He then said: "With so many people on the crew watching, it will have a bad influence. Some people will spread rumors that I am acting like a big star."
"Oh" Liu Yan heard what Wang Shu said and realized that he was being rude. , and suddenly felt aggrieved that he had done something wrong and buried his head.
Seeing this, Wang Shu smiled and whispered softly: "If you are really fine, just watch from the side. If I have time later, I will tell you about the play."
When Liu Yan heard Wang Shu's words, his lost eyes instantly regained their composure. He stared with a pair of watery eyes and opened his mouth, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Director Wang, you are so kind."
< br>
When Wang Shu heard this, he still kept a faint smile and said: "Work hard, this is a good opportunity for you."
"The performance is brilliant and leaves an impression on people." , in the future, producers will take the initiative to look for you to film."
Looking at Liu Yan's longing expression after hearing this, he then said, "Of course, if you act well, you will be hired in the future. If you find a suitable role, I will also find you to join the team."
"Really?" Liu Yan couldn't help but ask excitedly.
Wang Shu smiled and asked: "What are you lying to?"
Liu Yan couldn't stop being excited, and then said, "So you have to study the script carefully and act well."
"Although you don't have many roles, this is you. An opportunity to show yourself.”
“Cherish it and work hard”
When he said this, he originally wanted to give an example to Zhou Xingxing, but then thought about it and did not speak.
When Zhou Xingxing first debuted, the role he played in a certain drama crew only had one line.
But he cherishes it very much.
After I finished the play with this line, I thought about it and felt that it was not done well. Then I went to the director the next day, knelt down and begged him to give him another chance to perform again.
Obviously.
Zhou Xingxing can succeed not only because of his talent, but also because of his hard work.
In fact, if you carefully compare Zhou Xingxing's performance, you can find that his performance style is similar to that of Japanese comics and some European and American comedians.
And this is exactly a set of comedy performance methods that he summarized from watching a lot of video tapes before he became famous.
The ideas in his mind were not born from nature, but accumulated a lot of theoretical knowledge through countless readings of films.
"Director Wang, I will work hard." Encouraged by Wang Shu, Liu Yan was very happy and excited, as if he had been given a shot of blood.
Sun Li happened to come behind Wang Shu not long ago. She listened silently to the conversation between Wang Shu and Liu Yan, feeling a little sour for no reason. At this moment, Liu Yan noticed Sun Li standing next to him. With a smile on his face, he couldn't help but share his joy: "Teacher Sun, Director Wang just said that he has time to teach me acting."
Sun Li is 82 years old and Liu Yan is 80 years old, so it is not easy for Liu Yan to call Sun Li his sister.
And Sun Li's status is far beyond the reach of a newcomer like Liu Yan, who has just entered the industry, and it is also difficult to call Sun Li by her first name.
Also known as Teacher Sun.
This method of address is very common in the entertainment industry. It can not only give people respect in speech, but also alleviate the embarrassment of the age gap.
Hearing this, Sun Li responded with a smile: "Having Director Wang teach you will definitely be of great help to your performance."
After saying that, he looked at Wang Shu again, squinted his eyes and joked half-seriously, "Director Wang, can you turn on the small stove for me if you have time?"
Liu Yan's heart sank when he heard this. , couldn't help but regret not holding back and telling her that Wang Shu would teach her acting.
When Wang Shu heard what Sun Li said, he smiled and said: "Teacher Sun, you have already acted in a lot of dramas, why do you still need me to set up a small stove for you?"
< br>"Liu Yan is different. She is a newcomer. If she is not taught, she may not be able to act well."
Liu Yan nodded repeatedly on the side, indicating that Director Wang was right.
"But... Director Wang is not only a great director who won the Best Actress Award at Cannes, but he is also the screenwriter and the leading actor of this drama. His familiarity with the characters in this drama is definitely more than mine." Sun Li smiled. Answer the call.
Wang Shu heard this and looked at Sun Li. Seeing that she seemed serious, he understood that she also wanted to perform this drama well, so he smiled and said, "Okay, let me see if I have time. If I have time, I will Let me open the door for you."
When Sun Li heard this, a happy smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she couldn't help but smile sweetly: "Director Wang, you are so kind."
Wang Shu shook his head with a wry smile, and said to himself that it was lucky that Deng Chao was not here, otherwise he would definitely feel uncomfortable seeing you acting coquettishly towards others.
Liu Yan forced a smile, but he regretted talking too much in his heart.
Originally, Director Wang only gave her a small job.
Now, Sun Li has to start a small stove again.
The time that Director Wang can spare is limited. Wouldn't this affect the time that Director Wang can give her a small stove?
The more Liu Yan thought about it, the more regretful he felt in his heart.
The day passed like this.
night.
Liu Yan returned to her residence and talked on the phone with her boyfriend who was far away in a small fishing village.
Her boyfriend is not from the entertainment industry. She met her boyfriend when she was working as a nurse in a hospital in a small fishing village.
In 2005, Liu Yan came north to the capital to pursue his career. The two made a three-year agreement, saying that they would return to get married after three years of becoming a human being.
It is now 2006, and there are still two years left before the three-year period.
"Today is the first day of work for the crew. Director Wang is really good. Sun Li approached him and asked him to help with narration and opening up the drama. Director Wang agreed without even thinking about it." Liu Yan chatted with her boyfriend over the phone. Watch what you see in the crew.
Maybe even she didn't realize that Wang Shu was inseparable from every word she said.
"Since Sun Li can go to Director Wang to open a small stove to talk about dramas, you can also go to Director Wang." Her boyfriend who was far away in the small fishing village consciously heard her feelings for Sun Li from Liu Yan's words. Envy, so he opened his mouth to give suggestions.
"Although Sun Li is young, she has already acted in many dramas for many years. At the end of last year, she starred opposite Jet Li in "Fearless", which is different from me."
“She can go to Director Wang for help, but I can’t.”
Liu Yan was silent for a while, thinking of the scene when she went to the audition. She was worried that her boyfriend would misunderstand, so she hid the fact that Wang Shu would also give her some advice.
“Didn’t you say that Director Wang is a very good person? If you didn’t take the initiative to ask, how would you know that Director Wang would not help you with your drama?”
“Director Wang is like this As for the director of a play, it stands to reason that the better you perform, the more satisfied he will be. "
"So, he should want you to play the role well, not to ignore you. "
"Under this premise, he should help you."
Liu Yan's boyfriend expressed his opinion.
Liu Yan was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "In a movie, not every character and every scene needs to be outstanding. Many times, some scenes only need to be qualified and usable, and There is no need to strive for perfection.”
“Especially for supporting roles, unless it is a scene that must be performed well, it will basically end after being fooled.”
Liu Yan’s boyfriend. Understanding what she meant, he muttered: "Sun Li is the heroine and needs to perform brilliantly, so Director Wang will naturally give her a small chance."
"And you are a supporting role, and the camera images are not that important, so Regardless of whether the performance is brilliant or not..."
"As long as the scene is usable."
"In this way, there is really no need to waste time trying to make a small fuss for you."
"And Director Wang. If he doesn't give it to you, If you play a small role, there is a high probability that you will not be able to perform the role well."
"If you don't perform well, it is equivalent to wasting this opportunity."
Speaking of this, a moment. He paused and then said, "Why don't you find an opportunity to treat Director Wang to a late-night snack? Build a good relationship with Director Wang and then properly request him to cook a small stove for you?"
